The clubhouse remains closed, so I thought I'd pass along some interesting numbers for everybody to digest (or not):
If the Phillies win tonight they will be 5-11. Since the World Series started in 1903, there have been just six teams in baseball history that have made the postseason with a 5-11 record or worse: 1908 Detroit Tigers (5-11), 1914 Boston Braves (3-13), 1951 New York Giants (4-12), 1974 Pittsburgh Pirates (5-11), 2000 San Francisco Giants (5-11) and 2001 Oakland Athletics (5-11).
So if the Phillies drop to 4-12, they can only look to the 1951 Giants and 1914 Braves as reasons to believe.
